 Someone whose applied best practices to his business, May 31, 2016
By Sue Allen Clayton
|

When I purchased this book, it was because I liked the premise of making business less complicated. On this level, author Howard Farran certainly delivered. The book is written in a very friendly tone and describes what he’s learned in managing time, money and people. The book is filled with personal examples, including how he’s applied managing time, money and people in building his dental practice. I particular enjoyed the narratives from his staff members about how these principles were applied in their jobs.
Howard Farran is clearly someone who is willing to learn from best practices and apply them to his business. One of my favorite sub-chapters was about respecting your client’s time by using the eight principles of waiting (developed by Harvard Business school professor David Maister). These principles include “anxiety makes waits seem longer” and “unexplained waits are longer than explained waits.” Since I've spent way to much of my life in medical waiting rooms, it was interesting how Farran is cognizant of this waiting process and actively moves patients to a place where their wait time seems shorter.
The author owns a dental practice in a suburb in a suburb of Phoenix, AZ. It so happens that this suburb (Ahwatukee) is the area where my family resided for 15 years. Although he was not my dentist, knowing that he was a neighbor made the book even more interesting. Uncomplicate Business is clearly written and would be very inspiring to anyone who wanted to get back to the basics of their business.

I'm only half way through this book. Although I'm sure the rest of the book is just as entertaining and informative, I've already gained so much knowledge and advice in just the first half of it.
Easy read, will keep your attention unlike some managerial and business books. Recommend highly!!

Savvy, candid, meaningful, my first book on dental practice management., January 24, 2016
By Zadeleine

I watched some of Dr. Howard Farran's videos on dental practice management a year ago. Liked his style of teaching, the ability to see the big picture throughout the industry, attention to details, transparent in sharing his own success, humourous like a stand-up comedian. This book he wrote is just like how he spoke in those videos but added more breadth and depth, structures and concepts, purpose and meaning of why he does what he does, in terms of from running a successful multimillion-dollar business to owning an enterprise of a few influential entities, giving seminars across the world, interviewing hundreds of leaders in the dental industry. I see a true leader, a great teacher and an apparent visionary in his book and he's showing no sign of slowing down. May God continue bless him.
The book is composed of 3 themes. In the people section, I learnt about the concept of player A,B,C,D,E. In the time section, I learnt about streamline the pt experience in the office and how effectiveness abd efficiency come into play. In the money section, which is the least understood theme for a regular dentist, he shared candidly what the key elements and data are to minitor the health of a dental business. At the end of the book, he didn't just stop there by teaching us how to be financially accomplished. He talked about our purpose as a humanbeing on the planet, that is to care for the less fortunate and give back to the society even internationally.
This is a business book one can trust, especially it goes beyond the scope of practice management and well into the purpose of life which inspires the readers to leave their own legacy on the planet earth just like the author himself. A must read！
